Ancient Egypt: After Death (Gods and Mummification)- claymation

Hey, welcome to the show! Today, the history dude brings us up close and personal with some of the Egyptians gods. Then we follow the life story of a wealthy fellow named Ajima (I'm not sure if it's a real name) as he grows up, gets married, loses his nose (see 3:32) accumulates wealth, regains his nose, and tragically passes away- leaving his wife and child to drag him all the way to the temple. The History Dude narrates the mummification process, as three inaccurately dressed priests prepare Ajima for the next world. Finally, we wrap things up with some dancing canopic jars.

This was my final project for our Egypt unit in 6th grade, and the single longest animation I have ever made. My father is to thank for all the editing, sound effects, and some of the voices. It took 3 weeks to make all the sets, two days to film everything (non-stop!), and about 3 hours to edit.

I'm sorry if I got any facts wrong, or if this is offensive (somehow....)

The reason that Geb has severed legs on him 1:44 is because I got all the pictures from one website, and the one with Geb had another god standing in front of him. Because I couldn't find a better picture, and didn't know how to use photoshop, I had to cut him out anyway and hope that no one would notice.

Song at the end: "King Tut" performed by Steve Martin and the Toot Uncommons
Sound Effects: No idea where they came from, just off the web at findsounds.com

lol, youtube is suggesting I add "ufo" and "fireworks" to the video tags.
